lCELANDiC GEYSERS.

An Explanation of Their Occurrence
which Is Worthy OF Notice.
Rev. Mr.. Metcalfe, in his book on
Iceland, gives an account of the gey-
sers of that country, and adds an ex-
planation of their occurrence which is
worthy of notice. He pitched his tent
within twenty yards of the Great Gey-
ser, but as that was only bubbling and
boiling, without an exposion to send
up Il column of water, he removed to
smaller spring called the Strokr.
$50 we proceed" says he, 'to this
spring, which is one hundred PAGES
south of the Great Geyser, and, al
though it has no cone, but rises from
the fat, is the more picturesque of the
two. Forthwith we collect handfuls Of
turf and stones, and throw them into
the Strokrs pipe; but nothing seemed
to move him. The waters below
gr,lnted and snarled like baitel
badger, but were not to be drawn.
"ln the sulks, said /, laughingly,
as stood with my back to the orifice.
"'Here he comes!' shrieked one of
the party, as l heard hiss like a
rocket disengaging itself from its
stick. Rush for your lifer and rush l
did; but, my foot catching, down !
fell.
".Boiled alive was my instantan-
eous thought. The seething waters
will descend and overwhelm me. And
SO they would have done had not the
wind been from my side of the spout,
and carried the waters in the other d.
rection. What sight! A column of
turbid water, never ending, still begin
ming, darts into the air at least one
hundred feet, bearing along with it all
the unwholesome food with which we
had been loading the creatures NAV,
The physical reason for the discharge,
which is feature common to several
of the Icelandic hot springs, is pretty
well understood The pipe, which is
forty-eight feet deep, diminishes from
six feet, its breath at the top, to eleven
inches at the bottom. The injected
mass of stones and other material acts
like the shutting of safety-valve; the
steam has not proper vent; it collects
rapidly in the subterranean chambers
that arch over the fountains of the
great deep until they are charged to
bursting. and suddenly driving back
the continually encroaching waters,
they lift off the obstruction, and rush
into mid-air with the velocity of a
missil from the chamber of an Arm
strong gun, and are often illumined, rs
on the present occasion, by beautiful
aris.
"And where does all the water come
from? That too, is easy of explana-
ton. 1t is the damage of the hills
around. which. meeting heated sur
faces. gets to the boiling point, and ex.
plodes when it has a chance, y To"th''

An Interesting Collection.


In the exhibition recently opened at
Havre there is an interesting collection
of specimens of poisonous fishes. Some
are poisonous when eaten; others are
merely venomous. Among the first
are many Sparoids, a Tetrodon and
many Clupea, which are abundant
near the Cape of Good Hope. In the
Japan Sea is found very peculiar
Tetrodon, which is sometimes used as
a means of suicide. 1t brings on sem
sations like those produced by NOR

esting collection in the exhibition is
that of number of Bacteria, and path

iF BUT ONE HEART BE TRUE

Though every thing seems out of sorts.
And all the world goes wrong.
And there's no sweetness left IN li,e
Where troubles thickly throng,
Still hopefully and cheerfully
Our course we may pursue,
II but one heart be true TO us,
II but one heart be true.
There's many friend that we may meet
In bright and prosperous days.
Who, when adversely is near,
Our confidence betrays;
But though misfortunes crowd around.
And friends, alas are few,
Wen thankful be, nor quite despair.
Ii but one heart be true.
No riches we may gather in
Can half the Joy impart
That comes from sweet companionship
With one devoted heart;
That thinks Of us, and cares for US.
In ways that well reveal
Its quality, and prove twill be
Forever true as steel.
And oh, what happiness is ours,
What wonders we perform,
When one we love stands faithfully
Beside us through the storm.
And in fresh fountains of delight
Our courage we renew,
If but one heart be true to us.
II but one heart be true.
